[newbie] Lynksys etherfast PCMCIA card installation

the specs page for this box at IBM imply that this is how the BIOS is set up, however. In any case, Drake doesn't detect any networking device when that PCMCIA card is in place. Thanks again, Dave (who's going looney over this card) -- Pray for Peace Dave Burrows 741 Cleveland Road

[newbie] Linux 8.1 in a Thinkpad 380ED; BIOS?

Hi, All; When I access my BIOS, I can find no options. I want to install an etherfast PC card but without access to the options in my BIOS, Linux isn't detecting it. Anyone have a similar situation with a fix that worked for your machine? Thanks in advance, Dave -- Dave Burrows 741

of a way to circumvent this? This is my first notebook. I could not find the manual on line at www.thinkpad.com. The HD was just f-disk'd and formatted tonight; I can't even seem to initiate the install for win98 (though that's what was installed when I got it). Thanks in advance, Dave -- Dave

Right you are, of course; it's a Pentium 133 not a Celeron 133. The rest of what you write about will take some time to sort through as I am using Gnome and not KDE. Thanks, Civilme, Dave On Monday 13 August 2001 19:41, civileme wrote: On Monday 13 August 2001 12:02, Dave Burrows wrote
